This car was exhibited on the Mini Cooper Register's stand at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre, Manchester in August 1990.
Loosely based on the British Leyland Rover Metro, the MG 6R4 was created to compete in the Group B rally category. It's a mid-engined four wheel drive car with a 2,991cc 24-valve V6 engine mounted back to front with the gearbox in the middle of the car. Despite a third place finish in its first rally, the 1985 Lombard RAC rally, the car wasn't a great success and midway through the 1986 season Group B was banned following a series of fatal crashes.
